Therapists Bill the Evens, Physicians Report the Odds

CPT breaks down the new swallowing evaluation codes, so the therapists or speech-language pathologists who perform the tests should report the even-numbered codes, and the physicians who interpret the results should bill the odd-numbered codes:

92612 Flexible fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing by cine or video recording
92613 ... physician interpretation and report only
92614 Flexible fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation, laryngeal sensory testing by cine or video recording
92615 ... physician interpretation and report only
92616 Flexible fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing and laryngeal sensory testing by cine or video recording
92617 ... physician interpretation and report only.
